Postgame Thoughts (August 7, 2011)

This was not the final score

Rattlers 7. Cougars 6
Boxscore | Game Story

• Do you think I am kidding when I write that this Rattlers team will not give up?
• How about THAT comeback in the sixth inning.
• A couple of walks. Starting the runners to stay out of the double play
• A bloop, an error, another bloop, and another error
• Then, Romero’s single was just out of the reach of the second baseman to knock in the go ahead runs
• Jason Rogers with situational hitting and gets two more RBI.  He’s knocked in at least one run in five of his last six games
• Also, there was a scoring change after the game.  Rogers will not be charged with an error in the second inning.
• Nick Shaw extends his hitting streak to 14 games with a single
• Greg Hopkins with the D-FENCE!  D-FENCE! in the eighth.
• No! Really!  look at this picture:

Look at THAT PLAY!...happen outside the shot...Darn, I'm not a very good photographer.

• Well, how about this one:

See! Hopkins uniform is dirty. Like he dove for a ball! See! Click for the larger image and you'll see.

• Nelson’s Line: 4.2IP, 9H, 5R, 2BB, 2K. Unofficially: 75 pitches (47 strikes).
• Casey Medlen gets his first pro win.
• Alan Willams gets the defensive help in the eighth and works around the leadoff runner in the ninth getting on after a strikeout.
• Very nice win today by the Rattlers.
• Eric Arnett on the hill tomorrow to try to keep it going.
